Meet one of the best recruiter in the Nation

Clint Hurtt:

Hurtt has quickly proven to be one of the top young recruiters in college football. Miami's 2008 signing class ranked No. 1 in the country by ESPN.com as he coordinated the recruiting efforts .
In 2007, the Miami defensive line featured Arizona Cardinal second round selection Calais Campbell. Campbell ranked third on the team with 85 tackles from his defensive end spot. Senior Vegas Franklin had his best season as a Hurricane leading the team with seven sacks and ranking second with 11.5 tackles for loss. UM's defensive line tallied 27.5 sacks while Miami's defense led the ACC

Hurtt, 30 returned to his alma mater in 2006 after one season as the defensive line coach at Florida International. The 2006 Hurricanes defense set a school record for allowing the fewest rushing yards in a season -- 67.9 yards per game, breaking the previous mark of 69.1 yards per game set in 1989.
One of three former Hurricanes players on the current UM coaching staff, Hurtt was a three-year letterman for the Hurricanes as a defensive lineman. He signed with UM in 1997 and played extensively as a freshman before redshirting in 1998 while recovering from an injury. Hurtt returned to the lineup and saw extensive action in 1999 and 2000 before an injury prior to the 2001 season ended his playing career. After the injury, Hurtt joined the Hurricanes staff as a volunteer assistant on the strength and conditioning staff. In 2003, he was named a graduate assistant and worked with the defensive line for two seasons.In his only season at FIU, Hurtt was responsible for grooming 2005 Lombardi Award Watch List candidate Antwan Barnes from linebacker to defensive end, where he ended up being named a first-team All-Sun Belt Conference defender, averaging one sack per game.

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Hurtt had an outstanding prep career at Milford (Conn.) Academy. He graduated from the University of Miami in 2001 with a degree in criminology and liberal arts. His father, Clinton, played for the New York Jets and Baltimore Colts.

Hurtt recaps '09 recruiting, sets 2010 goals old article

http://miamiherald.typepad.com/umiami/2009/02/hurtt-talks-big-picture-2010-class.html

Hurtt said UM will have between 22-23 scholarships to use for next year.
Like he did a year ago, he laid out the slots for me: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 3 TE, 4
OL, 3 DL, 3 LB, 3-4 DBs and possibly a kicker.
So far, the Canes have
commitments from two 2010 recruits -- both are defensive tackles. Jacksonville
Raines' Louis Nix, a Rivals five-star recruit, and Miami Northwestern's Todd
Chandler, Miami-Dade's No. 2 recruit. By NCAA rule, Hurtt isn't allowed to
discuss any of the players UM is going after, but he told me the Canes have
already offered scholarships to between 30-35 players locally.
